Ingredients
Potato Preparation
- 8 cups cold water
- 1 tablespoon Kosher salt
- 2 large russet potatoes, sliced to ⅛ inch thick
For Cooking
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt to taste
For Serving
- Fresh parsley, chopped
- French onion dip
- Chip dip (your favorite)
- Ketchup
Instructions
- Prepare the salted water: Pour cold water into a large bowl, add 1 tablespoon kosher salt, and stir until the salt dissolves completely to create a brine.
- Slice the potatoes: Thinly slice the russet potatoes to about ⅛ inch thick to ensure crispiness when cooked.
- Soak the potato slices: Submerge the sliced potatoes in the salted water and soak for 30 minutes to remove excess starch for crunchier chips.
- Dry the potatoes: Drain the potatoes from the salted water and thoroughly pat them dry with paper towels to prevent sogginess.
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 330°F and preheat for 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Coat the potatoes: Place the dried potato slices in a large bowl, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and toss well to evenly coat each slice.
- Arrange in air fryer basket: Layer the potato slices in a single, even layer inside the basket to avoid overlapping and promote crisp results.
- Air fry the potatoes: Cook at 330°F for 20-25 minutes or until they reach your desired level of browning, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crispiness.
- Season and serve: Once cooked, sprinkle with salt to taste, garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately with French onion dip, chip dip, or ketchup.
Notes
- Soaking the potatoes in salted water helps remove excess starch and improves chip crunchiness.
- Make sure to dry the slices thoroughly before air frying to avoid soggy chips.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if needed for best results.
- Shake the basket halfway through cooking for even browning on all sides.
- Adjust the cooking time slightly based on the thickness of your slices and your air fryer model.
